Check the following:

  1. the bulb: it has two filaments one can work while the other has failed

  2. supply to the switch: if no supply check the fuse.

  3. check the switch goes live on the output when the brake is operated.

  4. does the socket get a supply when the brake is operated - if no and you have checked the switch then there is a break in the wire to be found.

  • Agreed- My first suspect would always be the bulb! – Nick C♦ Jan 7 '18 at 19:29

    As an electrician I started to notice the fault was often the other end from where you started... but the bulb is normally the easiest to get to and check. – Solar Mike Jan 7 '18 at 19:30
  • @Solar Mike I shall check and update you – DhKo Jan 7 '18 at 20:11
  • As a #5 I'd check for corrosion in the socket which could be blocking contact to the brake light pin on the bulb. – GdD Jan 8 '18 at 9:38
  • Bulb is all ok.checked for fuse and supply also only thing remaining is the faulty switch but I am not able to locate that.Any idea where it could be located and how it looks? – DhKo Jan 8 '18 at 9:39
